'modern algorithms “result in a state of docility that allows tech companies to curtail human experiences—human lives—for profit' -- how's that for a leader? I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but definitely interested. This is a different take on the typical topics of #degoogle #demetanisation #demeta #detwitter #dexification .

Questa la frase che Sara Piffer ha detto al padre prima di uscire con la bici, prima che una persona alla guida della sua autobdecidesse che qualche secondo del suo tempo valesse più del rischio di ucciderla.
Chi guida un'auto o un furgone ha delle grandi responsabilità nei confronti degli utenti vulnerabili, chiediamo che il codice della strada ne tenga conto:
Codice della strage - Codice della Strage

Io sono stufo marcio di dover pensare che potrei seriamente morire ogni volta che vado prendo la bici per andare al lavoro o altro. Ho moglie e figlia cazzarola.
E non perché andare in bici sia pericoloso, ma perché qualcun altro pensa che il suo tempo sia più prezioso della mia vita ( ma tanto va più lento di me nel traffico). Oppure perché è nervoso per i fatti suoi.
Non riesco ad accettarlo.

It has been many years since this combination of red poppies and blue delphiniums bloomed in a bed in my garden. In the meantime, other flowers have long since taken their place. The memory is preserved through this watercolor painting.

Uno studio globale su 25 Paesi rivela un paradosso scientifico: le campagne vaccinali intensive sul pollame stanno involontariamente accelerando l'evoluzione dei virus dell'influenza aviaria. I dati genetici (vi linko lo studio pubblicato su Science) mostrano mutazioni 2,7 volte più rapide nelle aree ad alta copertura vaccinale. La sfida? Bilanciare sicurezza alimentare e rischio pandemico.

Why is the NASDAQ crashing today?
Basically, the law of unintended consequences.
Short summary: The US "chip ban" cut off access to the best Nvidia chips, so the Chinese developed better algorithms that could run on weaker chips and also created their own chips. This makes AI much much cheaper, so the US tech industry that relies on selling expensive AI stuff is screwed, but it's good in the long run for sectors that use AI in their products.

A screenshot of a Twitter post from the account "[@]mistakenotmy" shows a photo of Elon Musk giving a Nazi salute. The text above the photo states that after activists projected the image onto Musk's Berlin factory, prosecutors are investigating the activists for displaying unconstitutional symbols, according to police sources. A link to a German news source is included. The post is repeated below the image.
